Dorling Kindersley would like to thank the following people whose help and assistance contributed to the preparation of this guide.
Journalist Vincent Crump, an Oxford English graduate, has worked widely across most spheres of written journalism: on staff for trade magazines, regional newspapers and consumer magazines, and latterly as a freelance writer and editor, principally on travel. Most of his recent work has been as resident UK travel specialist for the Sunday Times Travel section and Sunday Times Travel Magazine, for whom Vincent has been writing and editing for 10 years. This is his first book.
Written by Leonie Glass.
